We were glad to see that j. w. Harding of
Barnard, who has been confined to his house
since last fall with bad foot, was so far re-
covered as to be able to come down to this
village and call upon friends on Friday of

kins, in Rochester. - The many friends
of John Todd, the honest peddler, will be
sorry to learn of his death at his home in
this place, with disease of the heart, at noon
on Monday. A person far above the average
of his fellow-men in intelligence, which had
been lost to the world by early misfortune
in losing one of his eyes entire and the
other partially, so that he was nearly blind
he had filed his humble sphere in life more
faithfully, living and doing the work of the
great Father, than most of us do A mem
Der of the Episcopal church, he knew and
lived up to its teachings. Upon historical
and Biblical works his knowledge was ex-
celled by but very few, and he was con-
sidered to be upon questions relating TO
those subjects the standard authority.
Cropping his way almost in blindness he
had little by little gathered competency,
which he had expected to need as he adj
vanced in life, for he had always feared that
he might become totally blind. He leaves
tives that he had in this country, the
land of his nativity being Ireland. -
While carrying his sister TO her school in
Randolph Sunday afternoon, and while

some slight injury to the horse. - At

elected as its officers for the coming year:
Superintendent, Frank l.. Martini assist
ant superintendent, Carl Cushing; secretary
and treasurer, Florence Soper; librarian,
